Red Sox received Kyle Kaminska from PIT

Red Sox acquired RHP Kyle Kaminska from the Pirates.
Kaminska is the player to be named later in the Zach Stewart trade. The 24-year-old righty posted a 4.19 ERA over 81 2/3 innings this past season in the minors.

At first glance, his last name looked like "Kevin Kaminski" --- The great Portland Pirates center who, at 5'9", still got into at least one fight every night and lead the team to at least one championship. He was a legit celebrity in the greater Portland area, answered all his fan mail and was a gentleman to all the fans who approached him. Just an all around great dude. There were news reports about how many stitches he had in his face (his face resembled Chucky in the later movies) and how his career was hampered by migraines from all the concussions.

before they traded him they were expecting him to be one of the top picks in the rule 5 draft im pretty sure

He was traded after he wasn't selected in the Rule 5.

The Pirates got him for Gorkys Hernandez this year, and before the trade he basically looked like a AA washout. The Bucs moved him to the rotation and the results were decent enough. Not sure it's equal value for Stewart, but we'll see.

Oh ok at least going back to being a starter helped i guess we will see what we get from him and maybe we get a bp arm during this year or next year
